The BEST Budget Camera Monitor in 2023... And it's NOT ATOMOS?! || Desview R6 Review 

he's got the lights, the camera, the lens with the deep depth of field (bokeh), the background stuff...it's all studio setup....and then like a complete tool he's using a $9 wired headphone microphone that he needs to hold and speak into...because that's whats "cool" these days. What an embarrassment. Pro life tip: when you're older and more secure with yourself, you're going to cringe at this version of you.

Blah blah blah, way to much talking, how about SHOWING ! the actual monitor ! !

A better comparison would be to the Atomos Shinobi, since it is a monitor only device, Most people aren't getting the Ninja V/V+ for monitoring, unless your plan is to use the recording function in the future.

Thanks for this review mam. I looked it up and I was surprised by the price. What a great deal! Thanks again.

Lets see more of the monitor please!!

Great presentation. I use the R6 with my bmpcc6k pro and absolutely love it! For those that need an external recorder then yes by all means get the atomos. But for my needs nailing focus is a breeze with 2800 nits.

Thanks for the great video. Have you noticed the levels of your metering tools changing while adjusting your brightness or contrast on the monitor itself? Not sure if I have a faulty unit or not but mine suffers from this issue. Waveform, false color, histogram shift up and down while adjusting brightness/contrast. Can't judge exposure reliably this way!!

Wow, great option for sure! Excellent video 👌

Disagree? Have a different favourite monitor? Let me know in the comments below! ⬇️

Just to clarify the monitor doesn't have a battery indicator? How long would you say a medium Npf battery lasts?

Right now I am in between of buying the Shinobi from Atomos. Bu after seeing your honest review, I am pretty sold on the Desview R6. Currently I am stuck with a F100 from Neewer which became more and more trash the more I used it.

I liked this review, it definitely sounds like a good monitor to consider. One thing I will mention is that, some cameras have RAW external recording capabilities only, for which you need.. well, an external recorder. That's the main reason why I was thinking of Ninja V.

No battery indicator to me would be a deal breaker unfortunately. Maybe the Portkeys PT6 instead then

Hopefully it’s better than the R5 I got. The on/off button is stuck so the only way to turn off is by either removing the battery or the ac adapter. Other than that, it’s I-ite.

Great vid! considering to get this right now, I just really need a monitor to flip around so the people I record can see themselves and I think this well exceeds what I am looking for. Thanks!

Great info, thank!

Can this record in 60 & 120fps? Currently have a andycine that only shows display at 24fps

No idea why someone wants to record via a monitor, I mean, that's what the camera is for? Desview R6 ordered, thanks for the review ... seems cheap and effective for "monitoring".

Dope video bro, definitely considering this for the price ! 🔥

Great video, was considering the freewill 6 monito... but may get this one now :) Do you have a recommendation for a decent tilt neck fitting to attach the monitor to a cage? cheers

what mic you use?

Only records up to 1080p whereas others record a full 4K. This makes this kind of obsolete in the modern marketplace unfortunately. It would be a buy for me, if it had other record formats. I guess that's how they keep the price so low. Good review!

Interesting, but comparing this Desview monitor to an Atomos Shinobi would’ve been more relevant. Another significant drawback of this monitor is that it doesn’t accept 4k60. You won’t be too bothered by this with the A7sii, but an increasing number of people will be annoyed by the fact that you have to set your HDMI out accordingly

nicely explained ! good work brother.

Hello, I'm an amateur, I don't really understand it, but according to your video, this Desview R6 UHB 5.5 monitor can't be used for dual video recording on the SD card of the monitor? Is that SD card just for recording LUTs? Not for video recording - do I understand that correctly?

hows the battery life? I've heard that, when operating it at full brightness most NP batteries don't last longer than an hour, but what if only operating at indoor brightness levels. I realize this is a vague question but any insight?

how would you compare the R6 to the Osee Lilmon 5?

The manufacturers site does show a battery monitor

And how does it work for photography use? ✌️

Does it also takes time to turn on like the R5ii?

Can I see lut applied fotage through the Monitor HDMI output to another monitor? or record lut applied fotage straight hdmi output. is it laggy? R6ii out now can you upload informative video like this

It’s good for editing pictures etc in photoshop?

One of dislike atoms V is energy consumption.

Would it work with Raw? Like Cinema DNG raw files? Thinking about using this with a Blackmagic cam.

It can't record so why would I want it?

Thank you so much

Not even a true comparison, this would have been better against the Shinobi at $299 You are right I did click as the comparison to the Ninja was intriguing but falls under clickbait 😂. I have a Ninja V and a Shinobi, so thinking you had another recording monitor would have not been a waste of time…. Since I’m here I may as well comment. Try not to do comparisons with that much spread in price and features it will surely make people not come back to your content even if you make great content.

But whats the deal with the external recording on a monitor? do you mean the capability to press record from the monitor so the camera can record ?

Are you using a lumix S5?

Does the R6 work with log (fuji xt2 F-log)?

Does this shoot in Raw? And does it recored on an ssd?

You make videos. Just put the mic on your shirt. I'm not sure what the trend of people holding mics like an early 2000s bad headset on a phone call is, but please just clip it to your shirt.

Wanted to see the monitor, not you.. 99% of the the time is filming you. Why?

you still loving this?

im sorry but i just cant trust advice from a man holding that microphone

To much talking ...dislike
